Women say they will fight sexism, ‘ugly’ attacks on Harris [barf]
Dissociated Press ^ | August 12, 2020 | Sara Burnett and Amanda Seitz

In the weeks before Joe Biden named Sen. Kamala Harris his running mate, women’s groups were readying a campaign of their own: shutting down sexist coverage and disinformation about a vice presidential nominee they say is headed for months of false smears and “brutal” attacks from internet haters.

The groups put the media on notice in recent days that they will call out bias — one campaign is dubbed “We Have Her Back” — and established a “war room” to refute sexist or false attacks as they happen.

They didn’t have to wait long. Within minutes of the presumptive Democratic nominee’s announcement Tuesday, false information was circulating on social media, claiming that Harris had called Biden a “racist” and that she is not eligible to be president.

The women’s groups say their efforts are informed by the sexism Hillary Clinton faced from Donald Trump, some of his supporters and the media during the 2016 campaign.

“This time we understand the patterns, and this time we have the organizational infrastructure to push back,” said Shaunna Thomas, executive director of the women’s advocacy group UltraViolet, which released a 32-page guide for media along with a coalition of groups including Color of Change PAC, Planned Parenthood Votes and Women’s March.

While the groups have primarily been led by Democrats, their efforts are backed by nonpartisan groups and some Republicans. …

Can Kamala Harris almost see Mexico from her state?

“Women” should consider that they are bigots.

President Trump must have Sarah Palin join his campaign team, and let her do the attacking of Harris.

It's not like the MSM can declare she doesn't have the bona fides to speak about it.

It will be female VP candidate to female VP candidate. Governor to Senator. Maverick to maverick, even. They can't hide behind the usual disqualifications for speaking out. Having Palin be the face of opposition would put the hypocrisy front and center.

Besides, she has plenty of time on her hands now.

Now that we know Senator Kamala Harris will be Biden’s running mate, the media must be prepared to report the election without relying on sexist, racist tropes.

ANY honest criticism of Harris’ positions (snicker) or past actions will be falsely labelled ‘sexist’ and ‘racist’ and ‘hateful’.

As with Obama. As with Clinton.

We need to continually remind the public of what the D’rats did to Sarah Palin.

Adam was also pussy-enthralled, the first in a very long line of men to fall prey to those with that feature.

No ‘mommy issues’ whatsoever. LOL! Just truths from older societies that observed female realities honestly.

You can put lipstick on a pig and you still have Harris.

This pig will be treated along the same lines as Palin was treated and that was plenty alright with the libs at that time.

Harris stated that she believes Biden is a rapist and knows he is a racist.

How about we just use her own very true words to define her.

That’s what some people like to believe. Certainly, Adam tried to play it off like that.

They want to silence the truth about her selling her body for powerful positions and being a nasty b*tch during hearings.

“26 She speaks with wisdom,
and faithful instruction is on her tongue.(H)
27 She watches over the affairs of her household
and does not eat the bread of idleness.”

What percentage of modern American women are that?

Since you went Biblical, how about the passages below? Or do you cherry pick?

Ephesians 5:22-24
1 Timothy 2:11-15
1 Corinthians 14:33-35
1 Corinthians 11:3-16
Colossians 3:18
Peter 3:1-6
Titus 2: 4-5
